Hi I've been using Reductil for a couple of months now I havent seen any significant changes or weight loss. After having my second child (12 months ago) I am really strugglling to lose the weight also stopping the gym hasnt helped my case either. I do walk most days, I swim twice a week for about 1 hr. I also try to go for a jog a couple of days per week My diet is pretty good generally. I am at my heaviest I've ever been and have resorted to try this medication to try and give me a boost to weight loss. I refuse to buy any more clothes so Im still wearing maternity clothes as these are big and comfy. The only things I have found with Reductil is Im so alert and do have lots of energy and It definetly keeps me being full so Im not eating as much but still no results? Have you tried and had results or how does this medication affect you? at $112 a month its quite exspensive if its not going to work for me.

I would save the $112 and cut calories{write down everything you eat} and exercise everyday for 30 minutes. I am doing that and have lost 26 pounds in 6 weeks. Good Luck!

you can follow the gm diet,
GENERAL MOTORS WEIGHT LOSS DIET*
The following diet and health program was developed for the employees and the dependants of General Motors Inc.

The program was developed in conjunction with the grant from the US Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration. It was first tried at the Johns Hopkins Research Centre and was approved for distribution by the Board of Directors of General Motors Corporation at a general meeting on August 15, 1995.

General Motors Corporation wholly endorsed this program and is making it available to all employees and families. This program will be available at all General Motors Food service facilities.

It is the management????s intention to facilitate a welfare and fitness program for everyone.

This program is designed for a target weight loss of 5-6 Kgs. per week. It will also improve your attitude and emotions because of its systematic cleansing effects. The effectiveness of this seven day plan is that the foods eaten burn more calories than they give to the body in caloric value. This plan can be used as often as you like to without any fear of complications. It is designed to flush your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well being. After seven days you will begin to feel lighter by atleast 10 pounds. You will have an abundance of energy and an improved disposition.

During the first seven days you must drink 10 glasses of water each day.

DAY ONE
All fruits except bananas. Your first day will consists of all fruits you want. It is suggested you consume lost of watermelon and cantaloupe.

DAY TWO
All vegetables. You are encouraged to eat until you are stuffed with all the new and cooked vegetables of your choice. There is no limit on the account or type. Avoid oil and coconut while cooking vegetables. Have large boiled potato for breakfast.

DAY THREE
Any mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice. Any amount, any quantity. No bananas yet and no potatoes today.

DAY FOUR
Bananas and milk. Today you will eat as many as eight bananas and drink three glasses of milk. You can also have I bowl of vegetables soup.

DAY FIVE
Today is a feast day. You will eat 1 cup of rice. You also have to eat six whole tomatoes and drink 12 glasses of water today to cleanse your system of the excess uric acid you will be producing.

DAY SIX
Today is another all vegetables day. You must eat 1 cup of rice today and eat all the vegetables you want cooked and uncooked to your hears content.

DAY SEVEN
Today your food intake will consist of 1 cup rice, fruit juice and the vegetables you care to consume. Tomorrow morning you will be five to eight kgs. lighter than 1 week ago. If you desire further weight loss, repeat the program again. Repeat the program as often as you like, however, it is suggested that you rest for three days before every repetition.

You have your system under control now and it will thank you for all the purging and cleansing you just gave it. Even more than a diet program it is good to follow this diet once in a while to clean your digestive system and remove toxic substances that have a accumulated in the system.

Michael is right on the money for diet & the Burn the Fat program is fantastic. Is it a lot of work at first, but it's worth the payoff. He even has a Yahoo support group to go along with it, if you need. I would save the $112 and invest in exercise videos. I just had my second child a little over a year ago and would rarely exercise if it wasn't for my videos. I recommend anything by Kathy Smith, The Firm (the older videos are better), Tracie Long, Kari Anderson, Crunch, Jeri Love, Cathe Freidriche, and many others. Also look at getting some free weights and other equipment for home. It's a lot easier to wake up and start working out while the baby is sleeping than to try to drag them with you to a gym. Collage videos has a huge selection and you can see video clips on their site. I would check Deep Discount DVD for deals on DVD's also.

Your body is adapting to the steady low levels of calories that you are eating, and it is most likely in "starvation mode". The use of energy supplements or dietary supplements can be used to "supplement" normal weight loss methods, but not replace them!
What you need is a proper education... You have the emotional desire to lose weight, but you just don't know everything that you need to know in order for you to do so!

The below site will take you to the only author that I have found that is preaching EVERYTHING that I know to be true about nutrition and human physiology... and the techniques that you must adopt in order to control your physique and overall health. I have been studying fitness for years, as well as training myself, and finally found someone whose words are a direct parallel to my own thoughts and knowledge!
It will break everything down for you, and give you the only power that you are lacking in order to make the changes that you want... knowledge.
