Answers:
Please do not try diet pills because they are not the long term answer and many can cause negative health effects.
The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm
Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html
It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.
*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:

*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.
*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”.

Hi, I don't know how much time you have to lose weight, or how much weight you have to lose, but if you've got time, you could try what I'm doing! I'm going to a naturopath doctor (I won't give his name out but i'm sure you can find one in your area who carries this product)... I am on neurotransmitter therapy, using a product called NeuroReplete. No harmful chemicals or other gimmicks. What it does do, as far as I can tell, is replenish amino acids in your body and brain and balance them out. You also need to eat a healthy diet, which your naturopath can assist you with putting together, and also exercise.
I've been on this program for 3 weeks now and have lost 15lbs. For the first time in my entire life, I don't feel hungry! I never thought it was possible and was very skeptical at first but I was getting desperate - my weight has gotten so bad that I either need to lose alot of weight, or start taking insulin one of these days.
I've researched it quite alot online because I'm leery of taking pills, but I can't find a single bad thing about it. Not only that, but I feel HAPPIER and MORE ENERGETIC!!!! Something I haven't felt in years. And I never thought I would know what it was like to feel full with a healthy, normal amount of food. I used to walk around STARVING all day long, but now, I find myself forcing myself to eat the bare minimum of calories a day. No more anxiety over food, no more struggling every time I walk past the fridge. I have probably a good year to go before I reach my goal weight, but I am confident that I can do it with this program. But I will warn you, the first week before it kicks in when you are still hungry.. is very hard. But then after about a week, it was like someone flipped a switch and I just stopped obsessing!
The only disadvantage is, it's just a tad pricey, and you have to go see the doctor once a week to show him your food diary, discuss how you felt that week, weigh in, and every few weeks give urine samples to make sure that your amino acids are where they should be. But if you have the time and money, I HIGHLY recommend finding someone in your area who carries this product!
I tried 100% Hoodia and......
Hoodia has worked for me...and with no side effects.
Check with your doctor before starting any weight loss program.

**** VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO GET RIPPED OFF ---
#1. Be sure you are buying pure Hoodia...look for the import certificate on the website. No matter the price, if they do not display this, you really do NOT know what you are getting!
#2. Be sure it is 100% Hoodia & not mixed w/other herbs, etc.!!
#3. Keep in mind it stops your hunger pangs…you MUST remember to break your habit to always eat at certain times.
#4. Drink a full 8oz. glass of water with it!
Hoodia (HOOD-ee-uh) gordonii - A genus of 10 to 20 species from southwestern Africa.
Hoodia gordonii is the stoneage wonder plant found throughout the dry arid regions of the South western African continent now on the verge of making history in the fight against obesity. It is a genus belonging to the Asclepiadaceae family which consists of approximately 20 species. Used to stop hunger, quench thirst, and provide energy among other things since prehistoric times, Hoodia gordonii was first discovered by the San tribesmen and women to get through the most difficult of times.
