Should I buy weight loss pills? and does my plan sound good?

[Anonymous]

I (f17) really want to lose weight because I don’t like my body and I feel like if I do, I’ll finally be happy with myself and how my body looks and the way I want it to look.

I’m not gonna be lazy and just take the pills and not exercise but what I plan to do is workout out at least 2 or 3 times a day for an hour or two and eat healthy when I get home because I’m on vacation rn with my family. I’m going to eat foods like tofu, rice, fruits, vegetables, oatmeal. Healthy foods like that so I can lose weight more quickly.

So how does this sound? What do you think?

Sounds like a good plan. Excercise is great for staying active. It speeds up your metabolism, so it burns calories faster.

You could even count carbs. That's what I do since I was diagnosed with diabetes a few months ago.

It's easy too. Instead of eating nasty health food, just count the carbs of the food you currently eat.

On the back of a package of food, it will say Total Carbohydrates. You want to look where it says Total Carbohydrates per serving (Not package), and go from their.

A female should reach 45 to 55 carbs a day, and not go over. When it comes to counting, here's an example.

A piece of meet has 20g carbs, a side of corn has 10g of carbs, a salad has 10g, and glass of lemonade has 5g. If you add up those carbs, that's 45g, but you can up to 55g. If you stay below 55g and exercise at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes, you will start to lose weight, and if increase the exercise to 5 times a week for 30 minutes, you will lose more weight because you're burring more calories. It's really simple. This does work. Trust me!

Usually, for most people, exercise for the first couple of weeks is draining because they're not used to it but after that, it gets easier and easier because your body is getting used to it. You can even download an app to help you measure your carbs and what you're eating.

It's not about what you're eating, but about how much. All food has carbs, even health food, so you might as well enjoy the better foods! Hope this helped.

Lets tick the items one by one.

Weight loss pills: These are useless. Usually they work by tricking you into feeling less hungry, but so does drinking a cup of tea. While it can be useful in some scenarios don't make this a default idea. Tea and water.

Exercise: This is the best thing you can do. Realistically an hour of brisk walking a day is going to get you a great body. That is all it really takes. 2-3 hours of exercise a day is overkill for weightloss. You can still do it, but the best thing to do in most cases is just walking/jogging for 20-60 minutes. Your idea isn't bad but a daily one hour walk every day is much easier to maintain.

Diet: You again do not need to be so extreme. There is nothing wrong with a healthy diet but realistically if you skip soda, beer, alike and stick to mostly just eating ordinary sized meals and no eating outside the meals you will still see results when paired with walking. A cheat day is fine too.

Your plan is mostly fine. Skip the pills unless you absolutely can't handle the hunger. Really, the only thing is that you are overdoing it. Its about consistency. Every day. Not about one impressive burst. Just go for a daily walk and keep an approximate volume of food. Input and output. It doesn't need to be more complicated.

Thank you, I went for a walk today. And I’ll go on another one tonight as well. I have 13,291 steps so far

That's great! Now take one tomorrow, the day after and so on. Don't overdo it and burn put. 20-60 minutes a day is fine. Stairs over elevator, the small everyday choices will add up. Feel good about yourself when taking the walk. It will pay off eventually.

You're too young to diet. The rest of your plan is good - exercise and eating healthy.

Weight loss pills... I don't know what kind of pills, specifically, you are meaning, but there generally speaking is no such thing. They tend to evacuate your system of fluids, which does cause weight loss, but it comes with a cost.

The body is a pretty efficient self-regulating system. Of course, if you put more in than the calories you expend, gain will happen. And fat cells, once created, do then exist in your body, and are more easily prone to storage.

But you can also alter the natural balance of your system by doing extreme things which it was not meant to do. If you radically change your eating habits, you will lose weight, but it typically comes right back on, much quicker than it was to lose, when you stop starving yourself or a significant reduction in calories. Your body wants homeostasis. And it thinks storage is a good idea, in case of lean times. So, it's kind of a bugger that way, especially as we no longer have to wait for food to be caught and foraged.

A permanent, non-extreme lifestyle that includes a balanced diet (why is there no protein in your list? You need meat or protein you get from eggs, nuts, etc), and regular exercise, is the better approach. If you inject another variable, like a pill, into that system, it will work around that, and try to get itself back to 'normal'.

Oh thank you so much for your advice. I found some weight loss pills/vitamins online. One I found are keto gummies. Another weight loss product I found was Bellylab slimming pallets.

Live healthy and sport. You don't need pills to loose weight

If ever there was a plan that will fail it is this one. Your body is not used to excercise so you need the make a workout plan that is realistic. There are lots of them online. I suggest doing both aerobics as well as weight training. Workout for an hour 3 or 4 times a week. Diet is important as well. You need to consume protein as well as fruits and vegetables. Plan on losing 2 pounds a week.

And also. forget the pills,. The ones that work are going to be really toxic for you.

[Asker]

Right, but there’s celebrity’s that have done extreme diets and workout more than 2x a day?

[exitseven]

Maybe but they can afford private trainers and have a personal chef. They have a amphetamine connection as well. They will put it back on and another ten pounds.
There are no real shortcuts in life.

My friend, be careful because online can sell you some dangerous weight-loss pills that can make you sick. I was your age when younger. I lost a lot of weight, but wow was I sick. Not only that, but I develop low blood sugar that in my adulthood went into diabetes. Best wishes :-)
