Pills

19 04 2007

Nope, not pregnancy pills. I may have a big tummy that makes me look like I am about to go into labour but no, it’s not that.

I am talking about diet pills and weight-loss formulas.

Yesterday, I was at the grocery/pharmacy and my house mate inquired about a pill that he was using in the Philippines. Unfortunately for him, the store was out-of-stock and so he ended up getting some other alternative.

Now, I have tried taking diet pills before (Bangkok Pills) but it did not really work out for me. Although I got thinner, the side effects were just not worth it. I lost my appetite but at the same time, I also ended up losing all my energy. I would be sitting in the office and just not have enough energy to do anything whether it be work or just messing around with officemates.

Since then, I have not really given it much thought but now, I am seriously considering this option. I was successful in losing weight “naturally” a couple of years back but the same routine does not seem to work anymore, and I feel that this will really help speed things up.

For now, these are the weight-loss options that I am considering:

  1. Xenical
    • Helps block about one-third of the fat in the foods you eat from being absorbed by your body
    • By consuming fewer calories, your body will automatically tap into its fat stores and use them for the energy it needs
  2. Hydroxycut
    • Ingredients help increase energy levels, and boost metabolism and calorie-burning, thereby helping you support your fat-loss goals

These two have been highly recommended by some friends. How about you? What do you think?
