Who knows of a fast and effective diet to loose lots of weight?
Q. I need to loose about 70 lbs in 6 months. I already started watching what I eat and walking everyday. I want a more effective diet or pills to reach my goal. And I know I heard the phrase "loosing more than 2 pounds a week is not healthy" but it is possible. I did the celebrity diet yesterday and the day before and lost 12 pounds. I feel great!!! I need to hear only from people with answers to my questions please. Thanks in advance!

A. 12lbs in 2 DAYS! wow... if you can handle it I guess keep doing it. Or you can take Alli. No effects on your health... (It actually can reduce cholesterol) just as long as you take a multivitamin also because it removes fat from your diet and you actually need fat to obsorb certain vitamins... Try it. I tried addipex after I stopped breast feeding. But it made my heart feel weird. I found out later that year that I have a heart condition. Anyway, my doctor put me on Orlistat because it has nothing to do with controling appetit or motabalism, so it wouldn't effect my heart (hated that feeling anyway. But Addipex definately works). And Orlistat actually helps my heart by lowering colesteral. Alli is the over the counter version,… [cont.]

What kind of a diet do male models and actors have?
Q. I'm talking about male movie stars, male models, and male adult film stars. I know they spend a lot of time in the gym, but what about their diet? Can they never eat any fatty foods or just limit the bad food they eat? Or do they only work out a lot when they have an upcoming movie or photoshoot and just kind of let themselves go a little when they are not working?

Think of what would make you enthusiastic enough to not quit, but look forward to continuing this program on a daily basis for the rest of your life.
Asked by david r - Wed May 23 00:00:32 2007 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments

A. A food plan that is easy to follow without any expensive things to buy. A food plan that lets me feel satified with every meal and not still starving. A food plan that allows me the freedom to choose what I want to eat - within reason. A food plan that doesn't cut out one or more food groups. A food plan that gives good results on the scales and in inches. A food plan that doesn't make me tired and leaves me with no energy and headaches. A food plan that lets you have a little treat every now and again without you putting 2Lbs back on. A food plan that feels like a food plan and not a DIET. I think that is all I could really ask for. Hope this helps. Bon
