Babyangel, as stated in my initial post,
the pills are called ballerina anti obesity pills! None of my friends that have taken them are obese, in fact neither am i! Just people striving for perfection on top of the usual gym workouts!
Hi Gypsy Queen,
Since you are just trying to cut a good figure instead of significant weight loss, you should probably maintain good control over your eating habits instead.
A key method to having a curvy shape is to reduce one's body fats and increase on muscle mass. Since you are already doing gym workouts, you should be able to gain some muscle mass if you're doing the correct exercises AND consuming lots of good and easily digestible proteins together with micro nutrients such as high quality antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.
For body fats, it's a more tricky issue. One needs to eat the right stuff to reduce it. Exercising is not enough. Just look at people with nice abs. They do some work-outs for sure, but actually spend most of the time perfecting the 6-pack inside the kitchen!
You can consider the following foods, just to name a few, which are suitable for fat loss due to their unique fat-burning properties:
Carrots, asparagus, celery, tomato, cucumber, spinach, apricot, honeydew, guava, strawberry, etc.
It's great if you can supplement your daily diet with omega-3 fish oil. It has many benefits for the body, including lowering the body's insulin levels, which means greater conversion of fats for energy rather than storage. BUT please select a high-quality fish oil which states in its product literature that it has been tested to be free from toxins. Just ask the shop for info. It's available when you sincerely look for it.
You can also consider plant-based supplements containing capsaicin and TG-CLA (a more stable form of conjugated linoleic acid) to ensure better results.
Hope the above is useful to most people.
Cheers,
jim boy.
