Today My face started burning!!! I had acne problem ever since having taken some "improper " dieting products, but never had this problem before: my skin just so dry to start peel off, and I couldn't use any lotion on it ( coz felt like burning even applying those "for sensitive skin"). and the worst thing is then my skin went all red and (purple?) right now I have to keep use rose water spray like every 10 min (then drys out, coz my skin didn't absorb it at all!)

anyone knows why? I've taken some anti-allergy pills, still not any better~~~ I'm curious abt this so-called "No. 1 acne product" : anyone tried before? hey had really attracted ads, specially that "World's best" 100% money back policy.....


and the price looks attracted as well~~~~



But why they don't have in Australia ?! (have to ship from US )

What is Lipodissolve?

Lipodissolve (or Lipo Dissolve) is a non-surgical alternative to liposuction. The main ingredient in Lipodissolve is phosphatidylcholine. Phosphatidylcholine is a natural product found in our body. Its main role in the body is to help emulsify and breakdown fat and cholesterol and is a key constituent of our cell membranes and high density lipoproteins (the good cholesterol). The phosphatidylcholine that is used is derived from soybeans and has the same molecular structure as the phosphatidylcholine in our bodies.

What are the side effects?

Commonly, people experience temporary soreness, swelling, and bruising of the treatment area that lasts around one week on average. You can go straight back to work immediately after treatment, but this will depend on the amount of soreness you have, the area you have treated, and the type of work you do. In general, we advise patients to do it after work or on a rostered day off. Going back to work the next day is the most common scenario. The only exception to this rule is for facial/chin treatments. The swelling is usually significant in this area and not concealable. Therefore, you may need approximately 4 days off work and social activities. Uncommon side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, fever, infection (rare), and prolonged bruising. There is rarely an allergic reaction to Lipodissolve and no true anaphylactic reactions have ever been recorded. Occasionally, there can be some residual mild sensitivity over the area that is treated for some weeks. Lumps are also sometimes felt in the area, and these are transient and can be massaged out.

We suggest the use of Arnica before and after treatment with Lipodissolve. Arnica is a naturopathic medicine that helps reduce swelling, bruising and speeds recovery.

One area may be considered to be (approximate cost in brackets);

chin ($330)

chin + facial area ($330 + $165 per facial area)

chest (male) ($495 to $660)

arms ($495 to $660)

upper abdomen ($495)

lower abdomen ($495)

upper and lower abdomen ($660)

upper abdomen and hips ($660)

lower abdomen and hips ($660)

upper,lower abdomen and hips (only in smaller people $660)

inner thighs ($495 to $660)

outer thighs/saddle bags ($495 to $660)

outer thighs and under buttock area ($495 to $660)

cellulite treatment front thighs ($495 to $660)

cellulite treatment for back thighs ($660)

back/under bra area ($495)

lipoma treatments ($165 - $660 depending on the number and size of lipomas)

top of knees ($330)

side of knees ($330 - this is a resistant area to lipodissolve)

(all prices inclusive of GST)

An average of 2 - 3 sessions are required per area.

=============================
sounds to me like a diet drug injection, as I remember some pills got that stuff as well, but not pure. then how about another components used to make drugs, are they injectable too? usually injection more efficient, maybe that's why pharmaceutical company don't want to spent time on it ?

If YOU are really crazy about losing weight, must have heard Thai drugs before, actress "must-have" drug, because it states "can help you lose weight in one day". Not sure in west, but really hot in Asia though. coz in Asia every girl cares abt losing weight, and by saying that , i mean from 50kg to 40kg!!! (not 70kg to 50kg) I was the 2nd "fattest" girl in class when high sch. and the No. 1 was more pitiful since she's never been treated like a girl by us. ( i was 55kg that time, and she was ~60Kg, but she's 174cm).
so once I got money, I tried this most biased drug (alot "Thai" drug are on market, hard to find real one). I can show you the pic: (looks pretty suspicious~~~ I must be crazy when I did that coz you actually have to take those colorful little pills like 11 pills /day, I think)

(all Thai drugs with pretty colors, since I got my supply indirectly from local (Thailand) hospital, not black market....)
Price I paid (depends on level: beginner, normal, advanced, also where you bought)
My advanced pack (one month supply): ~AUD750
MY result: 2 week 10 kilos

IT's REAL!!!!coz i'm not the drug dealer, or I can get pay by advertising for them.
and I really want to pint out is: If I can lose 10Kg, you all can lose 10Kg, AT LEAST! !!!Actually, I was the one losing the least weight ever after taking the drugs. (I've already introduced myself by saying I've taken >50 diff. kinds of diet pills, kinda like having them as everyone "snack")

A bit details for it (I didn't include this part for other drugs in my feedback posts, simply because this is one of drugs I did feel sth physically)

HEART RACING ( at 1st I almost thought my heart wuld explode), increasing breathing rate, wake up in the morning the time everyday (6am) which is miracle for me, can't speak English fluently (affect my left brain?)
NO one really knowns how it works because it emphases only contains natural components (but secret), no side-effect (for neuron, hormone, etc.) and "MORE YOU EAT, MORE WEIGHT YOU LOSE" I didn't buy this untill felt it myself (I really could tell my whole body was burning (fat) when eating, and I usually stopped for a break to cool down, sounds like sports:)

BUT I won't recommend it to others, unless you were actress (has to play slim model the next day).. There was report saying one died from taking Thai drugs, although it was said later which was fake "Thai" from black market. .....
anyone had "Thai" before?

NEW drug , just on market recently, so I hvn't got chance to try it. but will be~~~

Have u heard of resveratrol? (If not , have you heard of red wine diet? drinking red wine can lose weight and live longer simply because red wine has got a bit "resveratrol" in it) If you search on the net, might come up with lots of ads for "resveratrol sales! world top sales ! blablabla...."
NOW , STR1 is coming !!!! ( used as antioxidant and living longer before, but it is modified specially for WEIGHT LOSS purpose, still keep those antioxidant, anticancer function as well.

Don't want to go in too much detail in science, if you have some interests on studying Genetics:)
can check: (news report, not ads)

New SIRT1 activators work like super-resveratrol

Published November 30th, 2007 in Medical News, Health News, Anti-aging, Medicine, Popular, Health, Health and Wellness, General Interest

"In November 2006, Sirtris scientists and Sirtris co-founder, Prof. David Sinclair from Harvard Medical School, published consecutive papers in the journals Cell and Nature showing that resveratrol, a SIRT1 activator found in red wine, could reduce the impact of a high fat diet, increase stamina two fold and significantly extend lifespan of mice. Unfortunately, it was estimated that a person would need to drink 1000 bottles of red wine to obtain an equivalent dose of resveratrol. Now, scientists at Sirtris have developed SIRT1 activating molecules that are chemically distinct from resveratrol and are 1000 times more potent.

I havn't found many companies selling this product, only one site from Shanghai: site is in Chinese, but it's got 24hr online English consultation /customer support.

http://4.sirt1.cn/dinggou.htm

I'm interested to have a try, coz I bought a few products from some Shanghai sites, great service (you pay it after you've actually got the products, and can reclaim your money if no result).
If I bought the Ultimate pack (16 bottles) of STIR1 , I can get 50% retail price, which is AUD498 (original price ~ 1000). but prob I won't need that much, anyone interested to buy it with me?
They claim after taking U pack , you won't increase weight for 5 years!!!

btw, I', form there, no won't cost me any shipping, as my mum's got friends flying here (Oz) frequently.

Just feel need to have a summary for all products 1st, to make it more clear

Four types on market:

1. Absorber: "STOP" (i don't believe) or "LOWER" food (fat, sugar) absorption.

these are three types extracted from NATURAL , just in different brand

Chitosan: Fat, Oil Absorber

Gymnema: Sugar, Glucose Absorber

Garcinia : Carbohydrate Absorber

They work by absorbing themselves, others ( lots of synthetic ones ) work by targeting human body to make us less absorb (e.g . targeting some enzyme , or inside layer of digestion tract, etc)


stop food = stop nutrition

Ads " not stop vitamin absorbing", some Vitamin ( a lot of B) absorbed by dissolving in oil, how can it happen "only stop oil"?

MY OWN LESSON : stop vitamin = stress ! skin problem: pimple! acne!! stop essence protein= Skin problem: Dark, Scar, Fatigue! ( no protein! no collagen! ) stop oil==stop omega 3, brain, hormone, etc.

I spent way more money on multi-vitamin, collagen capsules/cream, DHA, and facial, spa, even dermatologists. My skin had its 1st spot after one year taking diet product, till now: one 15mL pimple serum won't last longer than one week.

2. BURNER

BURNING! BURNING! BURNING!
you won't lose weight even you stop eating, unless you 're burning fat.

increase your metabolism rate higher than human naturally should be, so HARD to believe "NO SIDE-EFFECT". you can tell immediately after taking, more powerful, your heart racing faster (like exercise all the time)

WARNing: require a great heart like me! I mean, physically.


3. de-toxic

easy to understand: more mass out of your body, less weight you got

just don't OVER-detox yourself: My highest record was like every 20 min after taking a so-called "diet tea" (~AUD 6/box ). I was still in school that time, normally I won't embarrass myself in class , unless I couldn't hold it anymore....( ~one hr /class=3 x 20 min=3 away from class)


4. combination

combo of all those effect, usually least useful (each effect neutralize themselves).
But some state " XX is different, since we use XX new tech. developed by XX research group....."


who knows? anyway, I will share my feedback on each of the four types ~~~

I am starting to list all pills I had before!!! with product intro from company and feedback from MYSELF. I am trying my best, but some might already out of market, or out of my brain.
again, I'm not doing Ads here, so welcome your opinion or questions for detail.

~ HK$ 507.00 "1st BOMB: The white particles explode first, creating a sense of fullness in the digestive system. It would inhibit excessive absorption and induce secretion of a suppressive substance that would minimize intake of carbohydrates, sugar and fat, preventing a buildup of fat.
2nd BOMB: The green particles are released in the second phase. The immediate effect is accelerated gastrointestinal motility that cleanses the body by expelling waste materials. These particles not only detoxify but also prepare for the last crucial stage – of burning excess fat and calories.
3rd BOMB: In the final stage, the red particles explode to achieve the ultimate goal. The BOMB METRIBOLIC targets the most precise positions and binds and then rapidly burns excess fat, completing the Bomb after Bomb slimming effect.""

feedback: lose 0Kg, has some effect on lowering absorption since I usually eat a lot after taking pills, and I didn't gain weight. Not much feeling on fat burning, no any sign of heart rate increasing, etc. Didn't show any side-effect.

PGX™ (PolyGlycopleX) Complex Fibre

PGX™ is a unique complex fibre that which can expand 600 times of its weight when absorbing water. As a result, it can provide a sense of fullness for 4 to 5 hours. Moreover, PGX™ can lower body insulin, appetite naturally and remove intestinal sludge.

feedback: lose oKg. but worked for my friend. since it mainly stop you eating by keeping a sense of full, which won't work me forever, because most of time I still eat even not hungry at all.

Exilis® 500 US$ 92.50/2 boxes
Exilis® 500 helps you to combat excess of fats and to eliminate fats by the patented Bioactive CSK Slimming FactorTM, exerting "dual action" on body fat removal. It is naturally extracted from plant, absence of any laxative or drug contents.
Lipolysis: Accelerates "old" fat break n' burn.
Thermogenesis: Prevents "new" fat formation.
An Apotheker Pharmaceutiques Bureau (APB) awarded safe slimming product from Trenker Lab of over 70 years of pharmaceutical manufacture heritage in Belgium.
feedback: lose 0Kg. looks quite power in the 1se sense and they got quite good feedback on their website as well. probably just I didn't have enough? 2Boxes actually only covered like half month, I remember~~(don't over-estimate the size of box by the pic) Only need one pill each day, but I didn't quite feel anything happened to my body.

but the slim patch is AMAZING! I used it on my thigh and above knees, (VERY hard to keep it on your skin for that long, so I used sth like bandage for aid) it starts to heat at ~20 mins, then abt 1 or 2 hours later, the heat just suddenly go up. not exaggeration , I really felt they were burning , and to a sense I couldn't stand it anymore!!! ( I always took a beak) My thigh did look a bit slimmer after 6 hrs, or just because they were burnt to red. (NOT my allergic effect, no other side-effect except the damn hot. btw, I used it in winter)

Slimming Patch
Focused Slimming, instant fatcell apotosis, decrease fat purporting, target on difficult slimming areas like belly, abdominal sideways, thigh or arm.

I registered as Herbalife distributor today! haven't heard of it ? then just simply google it now.actually that's how I found out the product 1st time by googling "top dieting pills rank" that sort of searching. That was quite a while ago, and i didn't trust this type of product that time. Because they are not medicine in the traditional sense, more like food, called meal replacement today (just started becoming popular recently). Although they have individual products to cut fat absorption and this kinda thing like other pills do, their main pack "formula 1-3" just looks "weird".
why I say that? you can check it yourself in this product brochure http://www.herbalifeww.com/au/products/catalog/au_product_catalog.pdf
or their website. Milkshake, chocolate bar, even got roast nuts! losing weight by having all these? and they put customer feedback with photos besides like " 22Kg in 20days". hard to believe!
........... (I've taken almost every type pills in this period, ~3 year)

I started taking Herbalife just this year. As this type diet "pill" become common in market recently (a lot of other brands as well), Herbalife still has that price: ~AUD 5.00/day. , just more side products, like cosmetic products. It meant to replace two meals and leave one meal for yourself, but I used it as rather "snack replacement" most of time :)

My result: 1Kg lost! looks pretty shity result for a few months, but REALLY great news to me!!!! Because I didn't take any other diet pills in this period, which has never happened in my past three years as I kept regular daily consuming all over the year: changing brand every a few months or sometimes using "cocktail" , and max drug-free time can't be more than two weeks, or else I would start increasing weight. (typical dieting pills addiction symptom)
so I started my Herbalife trial with one full draw of my backup (other pills). but since my weight didn't change with days and then weeks, i just forgot the fact that i was dieting, untill one day I saw my "backup" again/ I stop taking Herbalife now to see if i can have chance using up my pill store, or I have to find way selling it out before the expire date. Then I got contacted by Herbalife for signing up as distributor (just like sales, but online). don't know if i can get rid of my own store as well , since it's so hard to let people buy health product from you, if you were Nobody.

upon now, i havn't really check how Herbalife works in details. usually I did quite a bit study to ensure the safety before taking any pills, but Herbalife definitely looks harmless, i just started right away.

after checking the website and other forum, will come back with product rating!
SO to be continued........

"XX DIET! THREE DAYS THREE KILOS!!!" Have you ever heard of this ? btw, probably would sound more familiar if substituting XX with apples, eggs, honey, yogurt, etc. It had multiple versions on various forum and websites 3-4 years ago. I've seen at least 5, but only tried apple version.
It is really simple: just eating apples for three days (for apple diet). The critical point is ONLY apple (green apple, red apple, whatever, as long as fresh apples) and water. Can't be orange or pear, even can't apple juice. and it also stated "no more than six apples each day".
scientific support (from my recall): apple contains sth helping people with fast fat decomposing and also good fibre source (another way of saying helping you going toilet more often)

My result: 3 kilos! even I actually had about twelve apples each day. Except the amount, I followed everything else strictly. and I used green apples. but I suddenly realized how stupid thing I did: It's not surprising at all to lose 3 kilos after 3-day fasting. I just stuck stomach bunch of fibres to pretend full to brain, and a bit fruit sugar keeping me not faint.
I tried this apple diet because it's my favorite fruit, no way for me to use egg diet or honey diet. Basic principle is the same: egg contains some for fat decomposing as well (maybe some kinda vitamin B, can't quite remember); and for honey, if you have problem going toilet sometime, try having one spoon honey with hot water before breakfast, works great!

I definitely won't recommend this method! No use at all! Once I stopped the apple diet, weight went up again in less than three days. You can't imagine how my three apple day like, I don't want to remember either. and my payoff: not touching any apple in the next few weeks, as well as a couple of nightmares abt apples.

Overall rating: 0/5.0

"The Up Day Down Day Diet"

just happened to see a post from last year in one forum:

"The basic theory to this diet is to limit calorie intake on your 'down days' to 20-25% of your caloric count for weight maintenance. On the 'up days', you may eat whatever you want and as much as want as long as you do not intentionally overeat. This method triggers your 'skinny gene' or SIRT1 gene and produces wonderful weight loss results along with other health benefits, according to the website." (www.johnsonupdaydowndaydiet.com)

WoW, I didn't even know there's a site specially for this method, since I tried it like six years ago, and wholly came up this idea myself!!! It is simply another version of dieting: instead of eating less everyday, you can choice hungry every second day for the return of one day relief. The critical point is: the total calorie taken should be same in these two. kinda like 1+1 and 0+2. however, soon or later, instead of 1+1+1......., yours probably will go like 0+2......+0+3+(-1)+4+...

hope you can see my point: if you keep eating less all the time, your stomach actually shrink (in size) and so does your appetites. but when you lock yourself one day from food while dreaming on the eating plan next day, I find it hardly keep clear mind "not overeat" that day. There is scientific support saying the absorbance of food increase with the anxiety, i.e. eating with empty stomach will absorb more!

btw, i didn't know that gene thing when i tried that method. I just didn't want my metabolism rate slow down (since if keep eating less all the time, fat will burn slowly and slowly) so that changing gene sounds really interesting :) so gene will change just by changing eating habits! wonder why those scientists still haven't figured out "gene therapy" yet?
