Fat Loss Tips

Review by calyx:

I’ve been taking this product for two years now. It was prescribed by my doctor after I stopped smoking and gained quite a bit of weight. I lost 60 pounds but also dieted vigorously and exercised regularly at the gym on the treadmill for 35 minutes. Oily discharge sometimes? you bet, but only when I ate meals with a high fat content. Couple bits of advice: if you feel like you need to fart, don’t. You can’t be sure of what will come out. Restrain yourself until you get to a toilet, just in case. Also, not only fried chicken and fried food have fat. Any kind of red meat has fat content. Rule of thumb for me is if calories from fat are high, I take a pill with the meal. This product is a lifesaver but it only works with diet and exercise.

Review by AmazonComWoman:

I’ve been using Alli now since the middle of November, and I’ve lost 12 pounds, on schedule with the promised 1-2 pounds of safe weight loss per week. They have a very robust online support site for people who purchase the pills and it provides useful tracking of weight loss and encouragement in more ways than I can use. The treatment effects that you read about are what keeps people honest with Alli and essentially make it work — if you eat too much fat at one sitting, you’ll be visiting the bathroom quite frequently. You learn quick. I made it through the holidays with continued weight loss, which I view as an amazing feat. I have 13 more pounds to lose on my plan and I’ll weigh what I did before I had my two kids. Easy to use, promotes healthy eating habits and lifestyle changes, and self-critiquing when you stray from the plan. I would recommend Alli to others — it’s a little pricy but I’m getting my money’s worth out of it.

Review by L. Burnett:

This is a great book. I have referred friends to it. The first day I was only able to read 30 pages and learned A LOT just in those 30 pages. Simple ideas, but put into action, my friend and I each lost 4 lbs the first week. And we’ve walked for an hour every day for a year and a half, gone to the gym. But it was a simple change of eating fuel food when you are hungry.I am excited to continue eating like this to reach my goal weight. Love the book!

Review by Nora L. Ishibashi:

Among the many diet and weight loss books published each year, this is one that provides a realistic and effective program for changing your thinking about eating and dieting. Some of the book is about feelings, some of the book is about goal setting, some of the book is about self management and some of the book is about eating itself. While there are questions to write about, it is not just a book of self awareness exercises. The book explains a viewpoint that frees you from old habits of thinking related to food as well as your feelings about yourself. The process described helps you examine the deeper reasons it is hard to regulate yourself in any area of your life.

Review by Talula:

I have tried several weightloss products, and this is the only one that has worked. I was not hungry and food did not have the appeal that it once did. (For me, not being hungry, doesn’t mean I don’t eat!) But this pill took care of both the hunger and desire. Also, it gave me a lot of energy.

However, you must prepare for side effects. I did have some disruption in my sleeping patterns. I had no trouble falling asleep, but I would wake up very early. Also, sometimes I felt a little jittery if I had an extra cup of a coffee. These side effects did not bother me though. Actually, waking up an early was an extra perk!

The worst side effect is the dry mouth. If you decide to use this product, I cannot stress enough that you need to also make sure you prepare to treat the dry mouth. (Not only is it uncomfortable, but it causes tooth decay if it is frequent and untreated.) Suggestions: Buy Biotene toothpaste and mouth wash for dry mouth to protect your teeth; Floss of course; Use mouth sprays/gels for dry mouth (Biotene or Oasis); Chew on sugarless gum or candy; Drink lots of water; Limit caffeine & alcohol.

I have lost about 15 lbs in just over a month. (I was 135 lbs and am now 119 lbs.) Also, it is important to note that I have also been exercising over that time. The added energy and waking up early helped me stay on track with the exercising. Now that I am not taking the pill, I’m still doing well. 30 days of exercising and eating less was enough to become a habit for me. My appetite is smaller, and my exercise routine is just a part of my morning schedule now.

Review by S. Ovalles:

I absolutely love this product, it’s made from nature and it works! My sister bought it for me and I used it and saw immediate results! I have 2 kids and my youngest is 20 months. I used the energy boost to get me to work out and I lost so much weight. I stopped using it because my sister couldn’t find it at the store anymore and I was devasted. Thank God for amazon! I recommend those who see result and reach their goal weight not to quit this product cold turkey. My suggestion is after you reach your goal weight use 1 pill every other day, and as you gain control over your food portions use it once every 2 days, and so on. Wean yourself off slowly.

Review by Kelly:

I ordered this product and saw results in a short period of time. Not only did it help me lose weight, I recieved a lot of comments about how I looked ‘younger’ and ‘better.’ Also helped with energy before and during workouts. I am now on my second re-order. Further, I had a problem with my mail and the distributor was fantastic as to questions and re-ordering. Highly recommend.

Review by Belinda Peters:

i brought this product a couple of months ago it is working i got more energy and i feel like its helping me not craving any sweets i going to buy more

Review by Amalfi Coast Girl:

A 44-year-old woman that has struggled to lose weight for a number of years writes this review. The combination of too much work, and not enough sleep and exercise resulted in “excess storage tissue” as my darling husband likes to call it. If you have ever struggled with excess weight and couldn’t motivate yourself to stick with a diet for the long haul you should read this book.

The book is subdivided in 10-day blocks as follows:

1. Set up for success

2. Put food in its place

3. Conscious eating

4. Listen to your body

5. Jump-start motivation

6. Emotional eating

7. Triggers and word play

8. Growing stronger

9. Long-term success

10. Put it into action

This book is written in 2 page chapters that you are suppose to read each day. The author presents a very concise and thought provoking idea each day. Then the author asks you to think about the topic and what it means to you and answer a question or two.

By honestly answering the questions in this book I was able to identify long held beliefs that were not serving me well. As a victim or sexual assault in my freshman year of college I connect thinness with danger, subconsciously. This book helped me to bring these thoughts to the surface so that I could recognize them and deal with them before they showed up on my hips. I am not trying to imply that someone with deep-seated underlying issues is the target audience of this book. What I am trying to convey is that I think this book can help the casual dieter, or those that have issues that go deeper. If you are honest with yourself when you answer the questions each day you might be surprised at what bubbles to the surface.

The book is written in a very pleasant conversational tone. The author is in no way condescending, like some other books I have read on the topic. The ideas the author puts forth are very simple yet effective. If you are looking for an awareness of what you do that has caused excess weight to accumulate you will learn something about yourself and your habits reading this book. This book is also full of tips and tricks to keep you on track. In my opinion this is a very useful book from the perspective that it altered my thoughts about food. I recommend this book to anyone that is struggling with excess weight.

Review by Karen Fraser:

This book has been so very helpful to me. I have been dieting since last summer (have lost 55 pounds just by choosing things to eat that are better for me). This book addresses the emotional issues and habits we have that sabotage our success. I find myself repeating some of the “mantras” like “I don’t eat it just because its there” etc. All I can say is that I have never written a review for anything I have purchased on Amazon and I just felt led to share my thoughts with those of you considering this book for purchase. It has been a real help to me, and I give it my highest recommendation. Karen F.

PS Update on review, 6/11/06. I have now lost 75 pounds and keep on going! I continue to read and re-read this book whenever I feel like I need a “boost” to keep going. I can just open it and find a passage (one of the 100 days) that helps me. This price is a small price to pay for a book with so much help!

PSS Update on review, 11/2008 I have just gone through this book again, and now have 100 pounds off. This book is a constant reference for me!

Review by M. Gomez:

I started taking this because I have an extremely busy life and don’t have time to even think of exercising…so I thought I would try yet another weight loss product. In one month, with hardly altering my eating habits, I lost 13 lbs! Now my clothes is practically falling off of me! No weird side effects like shakiness, nervousness, accelerated heart rate or ANYTHING! I LOVE IT!

Review by Vanesa Torres Colón:

I am lost 23 pounds since i received the product. I drink a lot of water and lost my apetite.

Review by Victoria R. Serna:

Can’t live without this product. I notice a huge difference in my mindset, digestive system and energy level when I stop taking ACAI and with this product in particular, I notice the highest degree of potency and it seems to work quicker than others too. LOVE IT!

Review by Tomasz J. Dorosz:

Used it for a week so far and all I can say wow. The appetite is the first thing I have noticed. After few days you can feel you have more energy and you are not tired through the day. I would be hungry all the time before I was using this and I could not get low body fat with 3 to 5 days at the gym because of my calorie intake. With this it should not be a problem. At this price you can’t say its not worth trying. I also take a multivitamin and Omega 3.

Review by Book Maven:

I’m a sucker for a good before and after tale. Lucky for me, this memoir is so much more. Fulda chronicles her amazing 186+ weight loss, more than half of her starting weight. But she does more than just show us her weight loss; she describes her relationship with her body and with her daily habits with such wit and humor that I laughed out loud dozens of times. The pace is quick, and the content is interesting (no daily diet plans or lists of gym workouts here).

I also like Fulda’s attitude. She doesn’t pretend to be a weight loss guru, and she never disrespects herself and her body. Everyone knows how to lose weight…it’s her dedication that makes her tale amazing. Also, I enjoy her focus on becoming athletic rather than getting thin (especially refreshing in today’s “Get Skinny!” social climate.) She is a very positive person, even when dealing with ugly plus-size clothes, negative blog comments, or the inevitable plateaus.

This is a great, inspirational read, and Fulda is a delightful writer. Reading it made my wait at the DMV actually enjoyable; I only wish the book could have lasted longer!

Review by Jack Levic:

Jennette Fulda tells a remarkable story of determination. It’s an incredible journey of dispair, joy and redemption. Fulda tells it like it is with honesty and large doses of humor. Anyone who is seriously overweight can relate to her stories. Only an obese person can truly understand life in a fat-unfriendly society. Her weight-loss journey is not an easy one but Fulda seems to have the inner-strength needed to succeed. She tells her own story without offering specific weight-loss advice. This is NOT a diet book. In fact, she refuses to discuss her exact method of losing weight. The diet she followed remains unnamed. She follows a healthier way of eating and tries to banish bad foods from her life, but there are a few mishaps and setbacks along the way. She knows it has to be a permanent lifestyle change. It’s a journey of self-discovery on all levels. Her weight immobilizes her with so many aches and pains until exercise becomes her salvation. She is ashamed and self-conscious of her weight but her will is strong. It is her story and no one else’s. She doesn’t want to be come a weight-loss guru and doesn’t preach for or against any way of thinking. She has her own views on fat acceptance and weight loss. It’s up to the reader to find what is the right path and how to begin. Here story of dispair is one that so many seriously overweight people can understand. In Fulda’s case, dispair becomes hope and hope becomes cautious joy as she nears her ideal weight. She tells her story with a humor that is often self-depracating. It’s no secret that she succeeds in her quest before you start the book. She no longers suffers the stigma and pain of severe obesity. Readers just beginning their journey to weight loss might be put off with some of the humor. Fulda often uses humor to hide her pain, embarrassment and humiliation. Her humor can be a bit disparaging for a person who is still obese and the pain, embarrassment and humiliation is still a daily routine. She describes how she sat in an arm chair her weight spilled over the sides and looked like a muffin top. It’s a funny visual unless being a muffin top is your reality. There is great joy in knowing that someone did succeed and ended the misery and pain of obesity. Her experiences show that the obese person is not alone in their suffering. Although obesity is a national epidemic, there are few books that address this issue in such a frank way. This is a gem of a book for anyone who suffers with obesity and seeks hope.

Review by Phyllis Quebengco:

I like the product but have only lost 7 pounds so far. I am still on my first bottle so maybe I am expecting too much too fast. I was happy to see that it was 100% pure acai. I had purchased another popular brand and was very disappointed to see that it was mixed with a bunch of crap. I saw on the product label too that this acai juice extreem product is a lot more potent then the other two that I had previously purchased. I will buy more when I use these up. I appreciate the extra energy and it makes me want to do more things: shopping, shopping, shopping!

Review by medcat2009:

I started taking alli 3 days ago and today was the first time I noticed anything different happening with my body. First, I had to go to the bathroom really bad after my breakfast+alli and there were floating drops of fat. Then, I cannot stop passing really nasty smelling gas, and I’m continuously afraid to pass gas for fear I will pass something more. However, seeing the fat come out kind of makes me happy. Fat is good for you, but I don’t mind sending a bit of it down the shute. This experiment is pretty cool so far. And it does make me watch what I eat a little more. But make sure you don’t just eat empty carbs now, you still need your complex carbs, your lean meat and your veggies and fruits. That’s my goal. I know this is kind of gross, but it’s an honest review from someone who is using this pill. I also checked out [...] for info about orlistat before starting. You should do it too. Especially pay attention to metabolism, interactions and adverse events.

Review by M. Randall:

Well here is a cold, honest and disgusting review of Alli.

I’m not heavy, but i’ve been wanting to shed off about 5 to 10 pounds for the last year now. The problem was I was just too lazy. Well I finally got my act together and started walking an hour a day and eating better. After about a week of doing this (at this time I had shaved off about 1 or 2 pounds) my slightly overweight boss told me about Alli and how he had been using it for about a week and he already felt a couple pounds lighter. My first thought was sure, if this can double the speed of my weight loss i’ll do it. So I quickly went out to a local Kroger to pick up the 60 capsule starter kit. I read the info that came with it that night and started taking the pills the next morning before every meal.

The first 2 days I didn’t notice any kind of side effects. I thought all the reviews I read on the web were from people who ate nothing but junk because I was eating decent and nothing happened. Well on day 3 after I had my cereal/pill combo in the morning, within minutes I felt kinda gassy and I passed it as usual. Later, when I got up, the inside of my pants felt greesey. Was I sweating? No.. something much worse. Apparently I had passed the 1/4 fat that Alli blocks. Apparently it took about 3 days to finally hit me with the side effects. Needless to say I quickly threw my clothes in the washing machine and took a shower.

The stuff sure is sneaky… I had no idea thats what was going on down there until it was too late. I’d suggest anyone who has a hard time controlling their gas to not take this pill in public as you may be in for some embarassment. As for me, I now know to hold everything until I get home. The bright side is that i’ve lost more weight since I started this pill and it seemingly works great other then these nasty side effects. The funny thing is that I eat mostly lean meats, wheat bread and swiss cheese since i started my diet and I still get the side effects. I can’t imagine the mess if I took one after eating Pizza or cheeseburgers…

A weight-loss pill that actually works, and embarasses at the same time!
