I definitely agree that the best way to lose weight is to eat right and exercise. Hands down best way to lose weight and keep it off (watch Biggest Loser, that is legit). Having always just worked out one way or another to be in shape I never ventured into the world of diet pills for a few reasons.
- I was too young to buy them
- They were barely legal with uppers in them that I was pretty sure would give me a heart attack
- They didn't work and were a gimmick
- That was the equivolent to crash dieting and therefore a waste of time and money
Contrary to what you may believe I really am not using this to lose weight. If I do that's fine but only to a point. If I drop below 125 pounds I'm going to quit taking them.
My starting weight is 138.6 pounds. The first bottle of Slimquick that I bought was Slimquick Caffeine free. I found a deal online and bought several boxes of the Slimquick naturals. So this may not be super consistent but we'll see if there's a difference between product.
I have been on a reduced calorie diet since the beginning of January. I've also been running 2-3 times a week for 20-25 minutes.
To record my calories and progress I've been using the site My Fitness Pal. I have an app for it on my smartphone so it's very convenient. About 99% of the food I look up is in there. If not you can always add something yourself. This has helped me plan what I eat and really makes me think about what I want to eat or how something will make me feel after I eat it. This program is available online also http://www.myfitnesspal.com/ . There is a community section where you can participate in online discussion boards etc if you so desire.
I'm also following The Runner's Diet I found this extremely helpful since my cardio is running and the 1200 calories My FitnessPal suggested never seemed like enough. A tip with My Fitness Pal, don't eat back your calories. I know its tempting but what did you accomplish if you eat them all back? Also, go by what you calculate on The Runner's Diet not the calories MFP says.
