If you are refering to the dietary supplement, no, probably not.\n\nHowever, it should be noted that this is more than likely a scam. The main thing that would help with the loss of weight is the calorie controlled diet and regular exercise as listed in the product directions. Proper diet and exercise alone is enough to manage your weight. If you need to supplement your diet, do it with a properly balanced multivitamin or appropreate single/combiation vitamins. In that case, you'd be better off speaking to a dietitian to determine your needs.

you don't want to get overweight or obese so you have to be careful what you're eating you can't just go eat junk food all the time as it will give you bad skin, and think about the damage it does to your insides, eat healthily, you can buy a special powder drink which I know is for putting weight on, I think you buy it from Boots if you are not in the U.K, then go to a big pharmacy and simply ask if they have anything that helps to put weight on, if you don't want to buy these drinks, then I think the healthiest way to do it is too eat eggs, potatoes, bread,things that have allot of carbohydrates in them will put weight on you, but be careful you don't want to end up overweight, so do not start eating junk food please, you can also do weight lifting, running this will put muscle on you which is heavier than fat, so therefore will help you weigh more. Good luck.

If it is prescribed from a doctor for the appropriate thing, such as weight loss. I believe so. You probably just need to let your first Sargent know or the person above you in your unit. Then there should be no problems. But it would be best to go to a doctor on post to have it prescribed. He would be the best person to really let you know for sure.

Ok. So no doctor, first know that I am not a medical professional so keep that in mind. \nNext: throwing up will not help you lose any weight. Your body will slow your metabolism down because it thinks (and it's right) that it's being starved. It will latch onto any calories that it gets. \nStarving yourself will definitely make you lose weight but it is dangerous and certainly not healthy. \nSo here's where to start:\nFirst, the fact that you're under 18 (I assume from your diet pills comment) means that you are still growing. Please don't compromise that. \nStart taking a multivitamin each morning. You know, like a regular Centrum or something like that. \nSecondly start eating three to four meals a day, but make them smaller. \nEating smaller but more often does two important things:\n1) It makes sure you’re not hungry and that means you’re less likely to hit junk food and snacks between meals \n2) It tells your body to speed up your metabolism which will help you lose weight. \n\nNext, eat a diet that is high in FRESH fruits and veggies. If you need a snack, hit some carrots or an apple or a plum, whatever, just as long as it's a fruit or vegetable. \nThese foods are healthy for you, plus they are all no-fat and most are fairly low in calories. Also remember to get enough protein to build muscle (muscles burn fat! Really!). So eat lean meats like chicken, turkey, or lean cuts of beef. No hamburgers, lunch meat, etc. \n\nFinally, start to exercise. Nothing crazy, but make sure you work out for one or two thirty minute sessions a day. \nDon’t try to push too hard, make your workouts do-able and make sure you stick to them. \nSomething cardio is helpful like light jogging, you might want to talk to a coach or a gym teacher to work out a good plan to get in shape and to make sure you don’t hurt yourself. Remember to stretch before, during and after too.  \n\nLastly, find people who are happy with who they are, for who they are. I know that is a nearly impossible task but the things that hurt exercise plans and healthy diets the most are people who tell you that you can't succeed. If they are holding you down, find new friends. Healthy happy people are surrounded by healthy happy people. \n\nOh and as a final note, please use common sense. Don't eat junk food, avoid fast-food entirely, stay away from things Ritz Crackers, Cheese Its, any of those things you can get in the snack aisle of your grocery store. Stay in the produce section for any snacks. Just remember, don’t starve yourself, what you need to shoot for is not a number on a scale but being a healthy person.

If you are only 14 then you should talk to your parents and let them know that you are not comfortable with your weight and would like to try dieting and exercising...you are so young and have plenty of time to get your body in the shape you want if you start now then you will be able to maintain that shape you are looking for...If you have tried dieting and exercising and it didn't work talk to your doctor you may have a medical condition that prevents you from losing weight without some form of treatment

I think to lose weight, you need to do a few things:\n\n1. Ask yourself-do you really need to lose weight? Check out some charts from the government on height vs. weight and see if you are in a healthy range. If you are but still feel overweight, maybe you just really need to tone up-weight bearing exercises can help with that. \n\n2. Ask yourself why you want to lose weight? The healthiest answer is for a healthier body. Don't do it to impress anyone or compete with someone else. Do it for yourself.\n\n3. Don't think of it as "diet", think "lifestyle change." Honestly, the only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you consume. No matter what diet book or program you use, the bottom line is calorie restriction...no matter how they package it. \nBut this doesn't mean you have to be a freak about it. Simply make some adjustments to your portion sizes, add some exercise, choose healthier foods etc... These things can add up to burning more calories than consuming-which will end in weight loss.\n\n4. To make it as simple as possible-walk for exercise, eat lots of fruits and veggies, find low calorie alternatives to your favorite, fattening meals (like pizza...which I love...yum!) and reward  yourself for goals met. Also, don't get too hung up on the numbers on the scale or the size of your pants. Try to focus on your energy level, your mood, your complection...how you feel in general. \n\n5. Start slow, don't give up (if you really are overweight) and try to make it fun. Try new hobbies, try healthier dishes, exercise with friends/family etc. \n\n6. Of course, if you may have any health problems-make sure to consult a doctor first.

You could have surgery like liposuction...\n\nBut still, you really need exercise to maintain the weight that you lost because if you have surgery but dont exercise, you'll get fat again. :(\n\nYou can also try slimming pills and tablets but make sure that it is safe and approved by the Bureau of Food and Drugs. :)

Do you need to lose weight?  That's the important question.  If you really are overweight this is what you should do:\n\nYou have to choose a heatlthy lifestyle.  Eat right, eat moderately.  Incorporate fruits and veggies and cut out the junk.  Exercise consistently, not just sporadically--a combination of cardio and strength-training would be best.  NEVER take diet pills, they are 100% not good for you.\n\nGood luck. :-)

Yes....  If they lost any weight it might make them feel better about themselves and if they really cared maybe they would also learn what to eat to stay thin. If it's healthy it's worth a try : )

You might be able to lose some weight, but for your overall health, you're going to have to learn to like at least some vegetables and fruit.  Try sneaking some in - drink juice, make smoothies, add them to soups, pasta etc., and make a point of trying a new one at least once a week.  Keep trying, and you'll eventually find some you like.

There is no way to lose that much weight in that period of time that doesn't involve removing something.  If you try a fad diet, or starvation, all that will happen is you will make yourself too ill to go on the trip and may end up in the hospital.  Better to sensibly diet to lose around 10, and buy a girdle, if you are really thinking your appearance is more important that the pleasure of your presence.  Otherwise,go as you are.  I'm sure they won't mind at all.

Health concerns that you have and a suggestion for weight loss programs. While I am not obese, I am at an unhealthy weight for my age and it worries both myself and my doctor. She's made some suggestions to me for weight loss programs (Weight Watchers) as well as exercise and suggestions on food. Be open with your doctor and let them know you're worried. They're there to help you.

Depending on your location it could be a struggle.\n\nCall NHS direct and they should be able to give you the name of an NHS dentist in your region offering treatment. (if any)
