Hi
I am a newbie and cant seem to understand why im not losing with the reductil as some seem to be losing weight easy with them i have got loads to lose . Is there a way you have to eat when taking these tablets for them to work .
Just wondering if they are not meant for me as dont seem to be able to lose with them ive been going back to doctors to get weighed once a month and i should be losing about 4 lbs a month and im not even losing that not even losing nothing . Just bothered i will be taken of them if i dont lose i want to solve this problem if i can want to at least lose before i go back in 2 weeks time to be weighed .

you need to excercise. it's vital for reductil to work properly.

And you need to eat veg and fruit to make sure you get a decent fibre intake as well as nutrients, since reductil can cause constipation.

If you don't excercise, you can lose muscle tissue instead of fatty tissue since reductil essentialy causes your body to go into a slight starvation mode, since calories are reduced.

Pay attention to your body - are you eating because you are hungry? or out of habit?

I don't follow any slimming plans. I make sure I eat a decent low-fat breakfast - usually a boiled egg, a slice of wholemeal toast and a piece of fruit. I then take my reductil. Lunch usually consists of a salad or chicken and some steamed veg - I barely eat dinner since I rarely feel hungry enough - if I do I have a childs portion size of whatever I've cooked for my boyfriend (we never eat fried foods or use alot of fats. we cook alot of stir fries, brown rice based dishes and japanese style dishes - where vegetables are the star of the meal and rice and meat are the accompaniments).

I try and drink at least 3 pints of water a day too.

I generally get to the gym 3 times a week and do a mid-high intensity workout for 45 minutes. Working out kills off any appetite I have, but I try and have some fruit after it so I won't wake in the middle of the night hungry. I also take a multivitamin to supplement my nutrition intake.

First and foremost - Reductil is NOT a magic pill. It won't work if you don't work for it. You have to pay attention to what your body is saying intently. You have to excercise and eat correctly for LIFE not just for now - otherwise when you come off them you'll just put the weight back on because you suddenly don't have that synthetic message saying you're full.
