Anyone taking diet pills or supplements
| Wed, 11-05-2003 - 3:16pm |
I just happened across some stuff about Anna Nicole Smith and trim spa. I am really reluctant to take any pills but wonder if it would speed up my weight loss. Right now I am stalled and getting frustrated.


Taking into account that everyone's body and health are different, I usually find that when I am constipated or stalled, it is becvause I am not drinking enough water. Maybe that is the same for you. Before SBD, I had this problem when using protein powder. My roommate at the time (who was a dialysis nurse) said that it was my kidney's reaction to the ratio of protein to liquid I consumed.
Hope this is helpful!
I always ask myself the question "what's the tradeoff?" Almost nothing comes without a price. If you must rely on something synthetic to reach your objective, will you then put more credence in it to reach and maintain your ideal weight or to the behavioral changes that got you to the point you're at now? Some people will be taking diet pills their entire life, relying on them instead of themselves.
There are health risks. There was a 25-year old woman in our building who suddenly died from heart failure two years ago. She was taking Metabolife at the time.
In weight training and in weight loss, there are always temporary plateaus. Be your own stimulant to get those last few pounds off. It's all a matter of fuel management: either the incoming or the expenditure thereof, or both. Restrict carbs a little more, watch your portion sizes and above all, increase your fuel consumption with exercise. Be patient and you'll get there. When you do, you'll know that it was "all you". You will have been in control and not some foreign stimulant to which you had to subject your body.
Winston Churchill was once asked to speak at a commencement. He rose and said this to the graduates: "Never, ever, ever give up". That's all the words he spoke, then he sat back down. The audience was stunned at the brevity of his address. However, is there really anything more to success than that? Success is usually preceeded by a long string of failures. Never, ever, ever give up and you'll eventually succeed.
