Thank you,which article did you read the people or reveal magazine?
I WOULD NOT! recommend what i did in the end at all i was very ill.
don't always believe what you read i sold my story to a story agency and they twist your story to sell better some parts were untrue.
i had my gallbladder removed shortly after i lost my baby but got pregnant again soon after
so i now have only a bit of weight to loose i go to my Dr once a month to be weighed the same as i did b4 which is great
remember eat sensibly always give your body what it needs to survive and NEVER cut fat out completely

I’m not sure which of the magazines I read your story but it inspired me anyway. I was wondering what you did about hunger when you first started on Xencial other then eating cereal at night. I am on Reductil and this suppresses the appetite but I need something to stop the cravings of sugar. If you could recommend something that would be great.

Hiya Hun, this is a difficult one as i just went cold turkey and it was bad for about 2 weeks but i used fruit by way of sweets and fruit n fibre really helped.
Are you finding that your hungry on reductil? i don't know much about it.
A few things that helped were snack jacks i used to eat quit a lot of them is also at the moment eating Alpine cereal bars which are very good.
are you loosing weight?
but if you are like i was and your main problem is sweets n stuff then i really recommend just cutting it out your guna feel crap but it will be so worth it.
I also used to go to bed early as well sounds daft but it stopped me wanting to munch
take each day as it comes and im here for you daily if you want support to talk as i know how HARD it is and the feelings your guna go through.
but i promise it doesn't last long.
the answer to your question bout hunger when i ate grapefruits really is that as you loose weight you naturally don't want to eat as much and get full quicker so gradually i ate less and less so i didn't really feel hungry that much.
i hope this helps you hun n remember i am here for ya
hugs Lyndsey xxx

Hi Lyndsey,
Thanks for your advice and support, I really do appreciate it.
Yes like you I have a sweet tooth, I find it very difficult not to eat sweet things. But have decided to go cold turkey. My partner and daughter are not around today so without them there are no temptations around. Today I have managed well, I had 3 meals today and 2 snacks of fruit.
In answer to your question, no I’m not really hungry on Reductil but I still crave things. I just started Reductil on Thursday and have lost 3lbs already.
How are you doing, any weight so far?
That would be great to give each other updates and support.
Thanks Kandy

WOW 3LB!!! already that is fantastic whooo just think in a weeks time what you will loose, Honest that craving wont last more than 3 weeks just keep thinking slim in your mind it really works!
well i started on Monday ive lost 5lb but i think it will slow down a bit i don't want to be loosing that amount every week its not healthy for me anyway.
I haven't tried it but hot water with a slice of lemon is supposed be good give it a try you might enjoy it.
you have done really well today now yrs ago i would of found that hardest with hubby n kids being away as with me i used to hide sweets n stuff lol so with them away i would of proper vegged out!
just think in a few weeks the compliments you are guna get when folk start noticing your weight loss you will get a real buzz from it
but really you have done so well today and today is over with and you have WON! not the sweets
hugs xxxxxxxx

Wow 5 lbs that great, but I know what you mean with the weight coming off to quick and all.
My total weight loss is now 6lbs since Thursday, but I’ve been reading about others on Reductil and some have lost anything up to 12lbs in the first week. This will settle down and should average a weight loss of 2/3 lbs a week, so hopefully that will be me. Cause some people don’t lose any for a month or two.
The cravings have not been that bad cause I suppose the tablets are taking effect. But I’ve had to stop taking them, as yesterday I had chest pains. So I’ll just keep off them for a while, see how the old willpower goes.
Any way how are you coping, any cravings? Hope you haven’t had any unpleasant side effects on Xenical.
Kandy.
