Default Are there any weight loss products that have no side effects?

Hi,


I have tried so many products for losing weight. But so far I haven’t found any products which give good results without any side effects. Now, I'm looking for products that have no side effects and can help me to control my weight. Can anyone help me?

There is a weight loss product that works wonders for me. It's called Atkins. It has no side effects, it's an excellent appetite suppressant and it definitely helps in weight loss!

If you are asking about magic pills that you swallow before going to bed and that make you slim by morning... I am afraid they are just as real as the Tooth Fairy.

Melilea is some kind of health product which u drink it before meal. quite effective for some while. another one is call xenical. it's a weight loss pill. no side effects(check with pharmacies for safety).release extra fats in your body.

I did a quick google and found these comments about Melilea

i seldom take it coz i experience side effects like giddy spells & vomitting when detoxifying.

If possible, take leave and secede from all responsibility during one week. Food change, everyday activity and beverage, will bring side effects for a while. You possible experience of headache, confused and stomachache when poison will be released from body system
As for xenical
Xenical Side Effects
Quote:
What Xenical side effects should I expect?

Normally, Xenical side effects disappear if you continue treatment and keep to your recommended diet. Do not be alarmed by this list of Xenical side effects. You may not experience any of these Xenical side effects or experience just one or two. Most patients experienced only one episode of Xenical side effects. Consult with your doctor on any Xenical side effects that are of concern to you.
  • Abdominal discomfort or pain
  • Anxiety
  • Arthritis
  • Back pain
  • Diarrhoea, generally mild and goes away
  • Dizziness
  • Earache
  • Fatigue
  • Fatty or oily stools - 20% of patients
  • Faecal urgency or incontinence - 22.1% of patients
  • Flu
  • Gas with faecal discharge, generally mild and goes away - 23.9% of patients
  • Gum problems
  • Headache
  • Increased defecation
  • Incontinence (faecal) - 7.7% of patients
  • Leaky stools in some patients temporarily
  • Menstrual problems
  • Muscle pain
  • Nausea
  • Rectal discomfort or pain
  • Respiratory tract infections
  • Skin rash
  • Sleep problems
  • Stomach cramps
  • Tooth problems
  • Urgency to have a bowel movement
  • Urinary tract infections
  • Vaginal inflammation
  • Vomiting
Less common side effects of xenical may include dry skin, ear/nose/throat problems, and joint disorders. Side effects of Xenical that usually occur after the first year of treatment include depression, leg pain, swollen feet, and tendonitis.
Hardly 'No side effects' I would suggest.

Why not try Atkins as written before looking for magic pills - after all if skinny came in a bottle we would hardly need support groups like ADBB nor feel the need to change our way of eating.

you see, some product are suitable only for some people. not all are suitable to take product like melilea. and yeah thanks for the side effect list for xenical.

what i'm thinking is. if you really want to control your weight do some healthy weight control yourself. it's all about you. not the product or any pill.

Default Re: Are there any weight loss products that have no side effects?

sadly, no magic pills for us... :-( Good old fashion diet(Atkins) and exercise work wonders though. Those side effects are the ones you can hold onto tight! Increased energy, decreased Blood Pressure, improved mood, lower cholesterol... fitting into your old cute clothes you thought you never would be able to wear again.... etc...

Default Re: Are there any weight loss products that have no side effects?

People Be careful with the likes of xenical!! If I recollect correctly, one of the weight loss products, acomplia is the name, has been removed as it was proven to be quite risky to take.
Xenical is a prescription-only medicine , and you must be over a certain BMI ranging near the morbidly obese category, have no health issues, and the important part for people on Atkins is that it does not cope well with fat in foods.
Lots of fat increased diarrhea, as its main function is to "inhibit" fat uptake in our body, and unprocessed fat ends in stools..
So, Xenical is not good for people on Atkins.
Do not look for magic pills, just try Atkins

Are there any weight loss products? Believe me if one worked they would be on the nightly news and not a commercial.
