Wednesday, April 18, 2012: Two weeks ago, Alex received a
bottle of Thermogenic fatburner pills which she ordered online (s+h, plus
pills, came to $40). Over the weekend she texted me that she lost 5 lbs in one
week. I asked her if it makes her eat less (her problem is nighttime eating,
something most college students are prone to, and it had made her gain several
pounds since she started college). She said yes and that she also works out.
The pills make her feel hot, as in higher body temperature, since they are
called thermo. It must raise your temperature to burn fat. I do not like it and
cautioned her to be careful with it.
Alex, do not try to lose too much weight fast, because
your body will start thinking starvation is ahead and hold on to fat much more.
1-2 Pounds/week is the best way to do it. Don’t trick your metabolism into
thinking it has to slow down to preserve fat reserves, sorry, that’s how it
would be.
Not only that, but it just doesn’t sound healthy. I will
monitor it as much as I can from home, but have to remember that as a teenager,
I also used diet pills many times. The ones that really helped are off the
market now, but I do not recall having had any problems with it. I will update
here to let everybody know if they really work or if it was a quick fix and
then all the weight comes right back on.
