Weight Loss Pill – Recommendations?
I am about 100 pounds overweight, and have finally made the decision to diet and stick with it. A total lifestyle change. I am preparing healthy meals, and exercising daily, but was wondering if there was a pill or vitamin that would assist in my weight loss. I know there is no such thing as a "miracle" pill, but I've heard of pills like Apple-Cider vinegar assisting.
Any recommendations?
And if this information helps:
I am currently taking Tri-Cyclen as birth control, and I usually take a Women's One-a-Day for everyday vitamins.

The birth control is an aboslute disaster If i were you i’d discontinue using it, its a dangerous drug.
The best weight loss pill is probably finnaly slim from awesomesupplements.com
Eat organic grapefruits all day
Remember the grapefruit diet? Well, it appears that there actually is an enzyme in grapefruits that burns fat. Eating grapefruits all day, as many and as often as you desire, will speed the fat burning process.
Take digestive enzymes
If you are overweight there is an excellent chance your body is not producing enough digestive enzymes, causing you to gain weight, feel bloated, have gas, indigestion, and constipation. Go to your health food store and inquire. Try several kinds to see which one works best for you. Some great digestive enzymes can be found online.
Things 2 Avoid
Do not eat after 6 p.m.
Do the best you can on this, however, the good news is you can virtually eat like a pig all day long, and if you stop eating after six you will still lose weight!
Absolutely NO aspartame or any artifical sweeteners
Aspartame, which goes by the name NutraSweet, will make you fat. All other artificial sweeteners including saccharin, Splenda, or anything else, should be avoided. If you want the full story read two books, Aspartame: Is it Safe? And Excitotoxins: The Taste that Kills.
Absolutely NO Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)
MSG is an excitotoxin. It makes you fat, causes all kinds of medical problems, and can affect your mood making you depressed. It also can be physically addicting, like Aspartame, and actually make you hungrier. It is an excitotoxin. Read the labels of the food you eat. Unfortunately, the food industry has lobbied Congress to pass laws allowing monosodium glutamate to be put in the food and not be listed on the label. There are dozens of words that can be on the label such as spices, artificial flavoring, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, etc. that are in fact MSG in disguise. This is why buying organic food where everything listed in the ingredient list is something you recognize and can pronounce. Also, MSG is in virtually all fast food, including things you would never imagine such as pizza. This is why people in foreign countries eat all kinds of food and never get fat. It’s not so much the food, but the ingredients used in American food processing.
Absolutely NO diet sodas or diet food
Diet sodas have been called the “new crack” because they appear to be so physically addicting. They actually make you fat. The reason they are promoted so heavily is because people become physically addicted to them and they are cheaper to make than regular sodas. I did an interesting experiment with people who drank diet sodas on a regular basis. For two weeks they replaced their diet soda with regular high-calorie sugar sweetened soda. Amazingly, no one gained any weight. Even more shocking was 80 percent of the people actually lost weight. One person lost seven pounds! This was stunning to me. Diet foods fall into the same category. Do not eat anything that is being presented as a diet food. They are loaded with ingredients that will actually make you fatter, and make you physically addicted.
NO fast food or chain restaurants
Any restaurant that is a chain, a franchise that sells fast food, produces their food in such a way that it will absolutely make you fat. You can actually eat French fries and cheeseburgers and lose weight! – provided that the ingredients that you use are all organic and contain no chemical additives. It is virtually impossible to eat food in a chain or franchise restaurant where the food has not been processed to last for years without spoiling. The food has to be produced as cheaply as possible for the companies to make money. They must add chemicals to make the food taste great and get you physically addicted. This food also has been produced to increase your appetite and make you fatter. Remember, these are businesses whose only objective is to make a profit. If the food tastes amazing, becomes physically addicting, increases your appetite, and makes you fat, the restaurant is assured of success. They are like drug dealers getting their customers hooked on their product. The customer can’t get enough and becomes so addicted that they keep coming back for more. This is the sad truth of what is happening in our food industry today.
NO high fructose corn syrup
This sweetener makes you fat and is physically addictive. Just stop buying food at the supermarket, go to a health food store instead. Do not buy food that is manufactured by large publicly traded companies. Do not buy brand name food. The profit motive is so high you can be assured that it is not good for you. The sweeteners that are used in food produced in a natural way include organic honey, organic molasses, organic fruit juice, organic dates, the herb stevia, evaporated sugar cane jui

I’ve researched and used several things that have helped me to lose weight.. 70 lbs in about a year, but that was about 2 years ago that I started. I’ve basically kept it off for the last year, so slower is the way to go, no crash dieting. One helpful tip I have is to not eat after 6:30 or 7PM.. works great for me. Anywho, DON’T take anything like over the counter diet pill stuff.. all the stuff you’ve heard advertised. You can use supplements yourself that probably won’t have any negative affects on you whatsoever. You can do a little more research to find your correct doses. Also, I recommend iherb dot com because they have quality products for wayyy less than stores, even discount stores like Target. Anywho, I’ve used cinnamon, both in capsules and liquid form, and have found it to be quite helpful. I recommend the capsules, personally. Definitely give chromium a try, as well as apple cider vinegar tablets. Drugstore dot com sells these combination pills with apple cider vinegar and chromium and I believe some other stuff.. But you can just buy them separately as well. Also, try green tea, or better yet, green tea extra capsules. You can also get them in a decaf version. I also recommend something called gymnema. If you find other supplements, make sure to do a search for the negative side effects of them. I’ve researched these and have no found really any side effects from the ones I’ve listed, but others have some. Anywho, good luck. I know it’s hard, and there will be days when you fall off the wagon.. but just jump back on. :o)
