If using slimming aids made losing weight that easy, no one would be overweight! They all say to be combined with exercise & low calorie diet so at the end of the day you don't know whether you've lost weight because of the slimming aid or because you were following a low cal diet & doing more exercise!
I used to abuse diet pills when I suffered with my eating disorder. Some of them gave me diarrhoea, some of them made my heart skip beats, sure.. some of them made me lose weight but as soon as I stopped, I gained the lot back & then extra! They're not worth it in the long run. I think it's best to find out now why you overeat & how to curb your appetite with healthier measures - like eating pasta as it fills you up & best of all, it's FREE on EE SW!
None of the slimming aids are aimed as a long-term solution so once you stop them, you're body will just go back to how it was feeling before. Now, because of my abuse, I have awful IBS which actually prevents me from eating & drinking some of my favourite foods. I have a heart that will skip the odd beat here & there. I also have a lot less money & a lot MORE weight. Trust me, it just isn't worth it!
